keilew {HOLLAND, Beem, Jerosche}
- Keliew, keilew isch bin jeinkew, du bist eissew. 'Dog, dog, I am Jacob, you are Essau.' {Jerosche №439}
Type of incantation formula, probably with reference to Exodus XI, 7: But against one of the children of Israel a dog will dare to stir his tongue. Probably a remnant of a children's verse (M.J.V. 1899 p. 127):
Hund, Hund, beiss mich nit
Ich bin Jacob, du bist Esow
Wenn du mich beisst
So kume hundert melochim
un zerreisse dich zu hundert stücken.
